Teotihuacán looks impressive from ground level, but from a hot-air balloon, the ancient city takes on a whole new shape. You’ll see the long Avenue of the Dead, the Pyramid of the Sun, and the Pyramid of the Moon laid out below you as the balloon drifts above the fields. I like the early balloon … Read more
The best part of this experience is the view: you rise over Teotihuacan as the first morning light reaches the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon. I like the 30 to 50 minute flight and the calm feeling of seeing the ancient city from above. I also like the small touches, especially the coffee on … Read more
Teotihuacan is impressive from ground level, but from a balloon, the Sun and Moon Pyramids fit into one grand view.

I like the easy hotel … Read more
Teotihuacan looks vast from the ground, but from a hot air balloon you see its full plan at once: the Avenue of the Dead, the Sun and Moon pyramids, nearby towns, and the open countryside around this ancient city.

That is the heart of this experience, and the 45 to 60 minute flight is the part that earns the strongest praise. Captain David is one of the pilots named in the feedback, and … Read more
Teotihuacan looks different from a balloon basket. At sunrise, the ancient pyramids sit below you while other balloons rise across the valley. This early-morning flight is the main event, but the day also includes breakfast in a natural cave and time near the archaeological zone.
